Public lecture with Robert Reich on corporate social responsibility The Labor Studies Program invites the public and the campus community to a lecture with Robert Reich titled "Will Corporate Social Responsibility Stop a Race to the Bottom in Labor Standards?" Reich is Chancellor's Professor of Public Policy at University of California, Berkeley, former Secretary of Labor and author of the books Supercapitalism and Aftershock. The talk will be held Wednesday, May 4, from 4 to 6 p.m. in the Seven Hills Conference Center. For more information, e-mail jlogan@sfsu.edu

Transportation surveyThe University will conduct a comprehensive transportation survey on April 27 in an effort to better understand the commuting habits of our community. On April 27, survey teams will collect information regarding the number of people who enter and exit the campus. An e-mail will also be sent to all members of the campus community requesting their participation in an online survey about their travel patterns.

Survey results will add valuable information about campus commute habits. Data from a similar baseline survey conducted in 2008 convinced BART to relocate the SF State shuttle stop next to the Muni 28/28L bus stop at the Daly City BART station, which greatly improved the daily commute for 5,000 SF State affiliates.
